ginning with the advance of wages
to so cents per ton, was mainly ex
perimental, particularly on the part
of those regions which own or con-
troll their outlets to the sea. The
Pocahontas field, perhaps the most
independent of all, entered the ar
rangements late and then very re-
luctantly.
If the programme of the democrat
ic party, as outlined in the nomiLa-
tion of the State ticket, is carried out
this winter in Annapolis, next year
will witness the constructions Of a
line from our nearest competitor in
West Virginia to the seaboarti-a
line designed to carry the coal of a
foreign State over our territory into
our markets. In the Elk Garden
region Pocahontas will have an ally
fully able TO defy pools and formu-
late a declaration of independence
based on freight tariffs they can con-
troll and rates of wages they can fix.
The issue involved in the clash of
foreign with home interests is now
on trial. The republican party in
the selection of its Legislative ticket
did not last Tuesday by any means
meet the crisis. Instead of nomina-
ting men able to cope with "a danger
of real vital concern, we have tick
ct obviously pledged to secure need
less ventilation laws, semi monthly
pay laws, etc.-a ticket pledged to
add to the embarrassments Of bust
ness in this rcgion--;l ticket nomi-
mated with no appreciation, no meas
urement of the mortal danger which
confronts this county.
Hence the democratic party never
enjoyed better opportunity in this
county to distinguish itself by put
ting forward at least four of the very
ablest men in its ranks for the legis-
lature.
If it does not do so, we are advised
from many quarters that tile people
will take the matter up and support
four perhaps five other men, and
give them the largest third Of the
popular vote in this county.
1t can be done.
And if we mistake not the tone of
the popular express on, 1t wiU be
done!

IT has been said that opposition to

canal is concerned, is based on the
fact that it requires IL change in the
organic law to enable the State to de-

THE DEATH OF STRAUSS.

1t was during my last visit to Ger
many that met, at Ludwigsburg,-
where Strauss was born, and where
also he died and is buried-a gentleman
who had been one of his personal
friends and admirers. To show me how
firmly Strauss adhered to his principles
to the last, this gentleman told me the
following, of which he claimed to have
been an eye and ear witness. Strauss
had a daughter whom he had, strangely,
sent to pietistic school, while he was
separated from her mother. She was
educated pious girl, and subsequently
married physician. She was called
home when her father was about to die,
and was deeply affected. When he
saw her weeping, he took her hand in
his and said: "My daughter, your
father has finished his course. You
know his principles and views. He can
not comfort you with the assurance of
seeing you again. What your father
has done will live forever, but his per-
sonality will forever cease to be. He
must bow to the Interchangeable law of
the universe and to that law he rever-

and the small heart, but in degrees of

sAvoNARoLA's TRIUMPH.

There are in the world few grander
buildings than that citadel of Floren-
tine liberty, the Palazzo Vecchio; it is
an embodiment of militant beauty in
stone. In earlier times the scene of so
much that was noble and base, it be-
came in the fifteenth century the place
Of Savonarola's triumph and agony.
For there in the vast hall of that great
council he so labored to secure, he set a
whole people to work at fever-heat of
enthusiasm, with Michael Angelo and
Leonardo da Vinci among the workers,
that an asylum might be created, ref
uge and an appeal to the many against
the injustice of the few. The Medici
changed the place the arch-patrons of
art destroyed the designs Of Angelo and
Leonardo, setting up the clumsy stat
ues of Leo and the dukes, and the cell
ings of Vasari, celebrating Cosimo;-
they wanted no unpleasant souvenir of
the great council. But the centuries
have seen 1.-The Medicean stamp out
worn," and have placed the statue of
the mighty monk in the middle of his
hall.
The story of "Romola" leaves us
with sense of sadness and defeat.
Savonarola died mute and unjustified;
his friends and disciples robbed, MUIR
dered, and driven into exile his life's
work undone; and the kingdom of God,
he had labored to found, shaken to its
foundations. But only a few years
after, under Medicean pope, he is SOL
EMMY rehabilitated by the church-the
historians estimate him at his true val
ne, deVotees make pilgrimages to his
cell, Fra Bartolommeo paints him as
the patron saint of his order, and
Raphael places him in frescOed Para
disc among a glorious company of
prophets and sages. To-day, in an Italy
that does not love monks, Ferrara raises
his statue before the castle of the Es-
tensi and in Florence, in the vastness
of the great council-hall, is his colossal
image. Many changes have come to
his beloved city but she is faithful to
his memory, and those who do not rev.
erence the priest honor the patriot who
withstOOd tyrants and loved liberty

is" 1t was the custom of the early
Christians to meet regularly on the first
day OF the week. 1t should be ours also.
This should be for worship, for mutual
sympathy and counsel, and for any ap-
propriate work. Such meeting together
is indispensable. 1t is vain to look for
success without it. Each one should
feel it incumbent on him or her to at
tend, unless unavoidably prevented, and
then should be present in spirit.
